Mr. Speaker, this is empty rhetoric.
The question is on BDC's mandate. The act requires that the mandate be reviewed as of 2010. If I am not mistaken, the review process began in July 2010. Section 36(2) of the Business Development Bank of Canada Act provides that the minister must report to this House within one year after the review is undertaken. That was in July 2010 and this is now February 2013. It has been more than two years.
Therefore, why does the minister not comply with the legislated deadlines imposed on him? Why does he not comply with the law of Canada?
